Accept the things
To which fate binds you and
Love the people with whom fate
Brings you together
But do so with all your heart.

~Marcus Aurelius

He is out of my mind but forever in my heart.

: N Rome

First love is only a little foolishness and a lot of curiosity: no really self-respecting woman would take advantage of it.

George Bernard Shaw

A lady of forty-seven who had been married twenty-seven years and has six children knows what love really is and once described it for me like this: ‘Love is what you’ve been through with somebody.”

: James Thurber

Stars lead me up to heaven, and I hope I’m there with you, for you are a star in my twinkling eyes.

 Shannon Fancher

Never let a problem to be solved become more important than a person to be loved. -Barbara Johnson.

 Barbara Johnson

Love is the only game that is not called on account of darkness.

: Anon.

Love lasteth long as the money endureth.

: William Caxton

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight For the ends of Being and ideal Grace. I love thee to the level of everyday’s Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light. I love thee freely, as men strive for Right; I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise. I love thee with the passion put to use In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith. I love thee with a love I seemed to lose With my lost saints, -I love thee with the breath, Smiles, tears, of all my life! – and, if God choose, I shall but love thee better after death.

: Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Love, free as air at sight of human ties, Spreads his light wings, and in a moment flies.

: Alexander Pope

Were the passionate visible, all we would go blind.

~Jareb Teague

I kissed her hard and held her tight
and tried to open her lips;
they were closed tight.

Ernest Hemingway.

What of soul was left, I wonder,
when the kissing had to stop?

Robert Browning

It is the passion that is in a kiss that gives it its sweetness;
it is the affection in a kiss that sanctifies it.

Christian Nestell Bovee.

Though I know he loves me,
Tonight my heart is sad;
His kiss was not so wonderful
As all the dreams I had.

Sara Teasdale

Where there is love there is life.

 

Mahatma Gandhi

Sex is a momentary itch, Love never lets you go.

“It matters not Who you love, Where you love, Why you love, When you love, Or how you love, It matters only that you love.”

John Lennon

Love is an act of endless forgiveness, a tender look which becomes a habit.

~Peter Ustinov.

“In real love you want the other person’s good. In romantic love you want the other person.”

Margaret Anderson

A man reserves his true and deepest love not for the species of woman in whose company he finds himself electrified and enkindled, but for that one in whose company he may feel tenderly drowsy.”

Love me in the Springtime, when all is green and new,
Love me in the Summer, when the sky is oh so blue,
Love me in the Autumn, when the leaves are turning brown,
Love me in the Winter, when the snow is falling down.

Love me when I’m happy, and even when I’m sad,
Love me when I’m good, or when I’m oh so bad,
Love me when I’m pretty, or if my face is plain,
Love me when I’m feeling good, or when I’m feeling pain.

Love me always darlin’, in the rain or shining sun,
Love me always darlin’, after all is said and done,
Love me always darlin’, until all our life is through,
Love me always darlin’, for I’ll be lovin’ you!

“It matters not Who you love, Where you love, Why you love, When you love, Or how you love, It matters only that you love.”

John Lennon

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love….

1 John 4:18.

“Love the moment, and the energy of that moment will spread beyond all boundaries.”

Corita Kent

Never a lip curved with pain can’t be kissed into smiles again….

Love never claims, it ever gives. Love ever suffers, never resents never revenges itself.

Mahatma Gandhi

Hatred ever kills, love never dies such is the vast difference between the two. What is obtained by love is retained for all time. What is obtained by hatred proves a burden in reality for it increases hatred.

Mahatma Gandhi

Gather the rose of love whilst yet is time.

Edmund Spenser

Oh, my love’s like a red, red rose,That ’s newly sprung in June;Oh, my love’s like the melodieThat’s sweetly played in tune.

Robert Burns

“In real love you want the other person’s good. In romantic love you want the other person.”

Margaret Anderson

The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

Lao Tzu
